PULSE: Easy to recommend MD Pizza Factory

Piping hot, cheesy and full of meat resting on a delicious crust describes the pizza I enjoyed recently at MD Pizza Factory, located at 4706 N. Midkiff Road in the Albertsons parking lot. MD has been in Midland for about 2 1/2 years and recently moved to its new location. The pizza factory was written up in the February 2009 edition of Texas Monthly as a recommended restaurant to visit in Midland.

Pizzas are ordered at the front counter. MD has a very casual atmosphere and tables are set up around the room or you can take your pizza home to enjoy. Pizza orders may also be called in for take out.

This pizza restaurant offers more than just pizza. I added an order of cheese bread sticks to my pizza selection and thought they were cheesy, soft and delicious. It was as though I had ordered an extra cheese pizza. MD also offers plain bread sticks, green chile sticks, cinnamon rolls and chicken wings.

As the Texas Monthly review said, “Dough made from scratch every day results in a difference you can taste.” The dough is very good and the perfect base for whatever toppings you would like.

MD puts a lot of culture in its pizza offering signature pizzas such as chicken teriyaki (chicken, onion, pineapple and teriyaki sauce), taco pizza (ground beef, tomatoes, onion, lettuce, bean and salsa con queso), and Genoa pesto chicken (chicken, ham, Canadian bacon, onion, green pepper, tomatoes, and pesto sauce). There is also a meat lover’s pizza, which includes almost every meat topping you can think of.

You can create your own pizza by choosing the size (medium, large, and extra large), number of toppings and what those toppings might be. Meats, veggies and cheese can be added to make it your pizza dream.

MD features lunch specials with several combos such as two slices of pizza with bread sticks or 1 slice of pizza with a salad and bread sticks or stromboli or a croissant with bread sticks for $5.99. MD also offers pizza by the slice.

On Monday nights, senior citizens can take an extra 10 percent off their meal and on Tuesday nights, educators can do the same thing. Daily, MD offers 10 percent off for anyone ordering two large or extra large pizzas before 11 a.m. It also will take large orders and deliver them to your party or business.
